Gov. Beshear Urges Safe New Year's Celebrations By Crystal Staley/Jack Mazurak Frankfort, KY - On Tuesday, Gov. Andy Beshear urged Kentuckians to ring in the new year safely and announced two new vaccine allocations, totaling 53,700 doses, for Kentucky the week of Jan. 4: 27,300 doses from Pfizer and 26,400 doses from Moderna. "I ask every single Kentuckian to keep any New Year's celebration small, preferably your own household or one more," said Gov. Beshear. "Remember, going to a big party, hosting a big party or going to any gathering where you're going to take your masks off will spread this virus at a time where Kentucky is doing better than most, but the virus is rampaging through the United States and we're seeing record deaths just about everywhere." The Governor also said today Walgreens reported 1,009 additional vaccinations administered to long-term care residents and staff; CVS reported 501.
